International Rules 2011

[Blessed]

Cos789 you are re-writing history. Facts are facts. All three rules or interpretations of those rules were liberalised after the last International Series.

Diving on the ball interpretation has certainly changed and some would say for the better, thanks to the International rules experience.

The quick kick in is straight out of International Rules.

Our great game is morphing towards IR. Wether we like it or not.

 

[cos789]

I call troll. If not, Adrian Anderson can **** off.

There is no link is there!!!

In fact google NAB and Adrian Anderson and all you get is the suggestion to bring back the torpedo kick in the NAB.

Wow that brings things together doesn't it.
Try doing a torp with a round ball.

They were changed after 9/11.
Are you saying terrorists have something to do with changing the laws of Australian Football.

If you are going to troll mate try and be a bit more skillful at it because you seem to have no idea of the laws of Australian Football.

I love your re-write of history. The fact is International Rules has changed the face of Australian Rules football forever. We have taken from the sport and added to our game to try and speed it up as much as possible and stop the congestion around the ball.

International Rules is good for Australian Rules football because it shows the game in a slightly different slant.

As such the tweeking of the rules in our great game will continue.

And it helps our game become a better game.

Lol.

Rule changes in the AFL are usually driven by a desire to ensure that no single team dominates, therefore usually are designed to counteract some dominant tactic at the time.

They have nothing to do with the IR series, nor do the tactics certain teams have adopted.

The game of Australian Rules football will be played with a round ball within 10 years.

Please give me some of the drugs you are on because I need an escape to an alternate reality.

Lets take these points one by one:

1) Please explain which aspect of Australian Rules Football has been changed by the International Rules series forever. Just curious - does the IR have a substitute rule? I wouldn't know cos I don't watch it but has been the only rule change brought in to ease congestion around the packs.

2) International Rules is good for Australian Rules Football is it? A crowd of 22,000 in Melbourne where there are around 200,000 paid up club members of AFL sides would suggest the vast majority of hardcore fans do not care one iota for IR. So why would it be good for Australian Rules? It would seem to me that the AFL is travelling nicely without the influence of IR or Gaelic football.

3) How does IR make our game better?

4) Most supporters (that is people that turn up to watch the game and fork out for a membership) are sick of the constant rules changes.

Edit: just seen the latest post and realised I've fallen for a very clever troll.

You need to read my previous posts again carefully. It is all there.

I will start with a very simple one for you.

The kick in rule before the goal umpire signals the score is only a few years old. It is stolen directly from International Rules.

Players diving on the ball..again not allowed in International Rules. Now a penalty in a more liberal interpretation of holding the ball in AFL.

Yes, Gaelic Football has a substitutes rule…now Australian Rules has too.

Are you getting the trend yet!?!?!

Mr Adrian Anderson, the only person whose opinion really counts in Australian Rules wants to make the game more like International Rules.

This is one of his core objectives.

Firstly he has killed off the influence of SANFL, WAFL and VFA.

Now he is going to change the character of the game beyond recognition.

He wants the game to be more and more like International Rules so he can stage games across the world in a hybrid Gaelic football, AFL game which becomes more and more similar.

It is; indeed; the AFL’s master plan to make Australian Rules international.

Mods, please ban this troll

 

[cos789]

Allowed in Australian Football and has been for a vey long time.

Now a penalty.

Has been a penalty for a very long time if you were caught tackled.

a more liberal interpretation of holding the ball in AFL.

FFS get your grammar right if you're going to troll err debate.
Don't you mean a tighter interpretation of the ball ?

And if you bothered to stop watching rl and started watching Australian Football you would have witnessed the introduction of the "prior opportunity" interpretation that relaxes the onus to release the ball, flying in face of your farcical IR theory .

No, I mean a more liberal interpretation. More free kicks is more liberal. Thanks for caring.

Nothing you have shown proves your point. The interpretations of the game now mirror the rules of IR. It is Adrian Anderson's decree, it is the AFL Commisison's way...

 

[cos789]

No, I mean a more liberal interpretation. More free kicks is more liberal.

Liberal literally means to free.
The law is more restrictive.
It doesn't produce more free kicks.
It only increases the likelihood of more free kicks.

The interpretations of the game now mirror the rules of IR.

Apart from the quick kick-in which might have been influenced by any sport and which hasn't altered the game at all you haven't produced any other similarity to IR in your rediculous attempt to link the two sports in a way that rl mirrors RU because it's rugby or GAA mirrors soccer because it uses a round ball or basketball mirrors netball because it uses a net.

Love our Sherrin.

Best thing about our game.

Watching it turn over end or spiral.

Wish we'd bring the Stab Pass or Drop kick back into our game.

A lost skill.

Mandatory drop kick for the kick-in.
All drop kick goals nine points.

Thus more liberal.

Apart from the quick kick-in

So you agree with me now. Look these are Adrian Anderson's words not mine. He is the No 1 administrator in the game.And what Adrian wants, Adrian gets...

He is using the rules of International Rules as his guide for AFL future dynamics.

Are you devoid of the most basic powers to reason ?

If the police reduce the tolerance on speed cameras they are causing the application of the law to be more restrictive. The fact that more motorists will be caught does not make the application of the law more liberal - it is more restrictive.

 

[cos789]

So you agree with me now.

It could of come from anywhere.
They have the quick kick-in in a lot of sports.
It's of no importance what so ever because it has had zero effect.
Is that your strongest point ?

He said it on 3aw Sports Today so nothing in print....yet.

What have the police got to do with holding the ball??

If there are more holding the ball decisions paid...then the rule is being used more liberally.

It came from International Rules and you know it..

Boy you are on shaky ground.

Like a glacier about to melt.
